Also known as the sailfin snapper, this is a deep-bodied tropical snapper native to the eastern Indian Ocean (off western Australia) and the western Pacific Ocean. It inhabits sandy areas adjacent to reefs in lagoons and on outer reefs.
A carnivore, this species usually feeds on fishes and benthic crustaceans and molluscs. Although usually solitary, small spawning aggregations of mature individuals are seen along seaward reefs.
Its body shows blue undulating stripes over a yellow body, an orange stripe crossing the eye, and another one at the back of the head. It has typically a black spot at its tail. This species can reach a length of 60 cm (24 in).
